Secondly, there's one reason why I am a geek: I gave Leo Laporte a week watching The Screen Savers and Call For Help back in the year when this thread was created, and I became a geek, a VERY happy one at that.

1. I have 2 computers of my own...and run Ubuntu (Linux) on them both.
10. I found four grammatical and spelling errors on my Language Arts midterm exam....before I even got to the error correction section (and then found another later)
11. I program. (Python, (X)HTML (not technically a programming language but I know it), XML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, some PHP, and some C (for Robotics, duh)
100. I know all of the lyrics to "White and Nerdy"--and acknowledge that it's my theme song.
101. I am the webmaster of four different websites, and do some work (I'm not the webmaster of it, though) on my team's website: http://d5robotics.org/
110. It's been said that my bio on my team's site is the best designed out of all of the team members. (Though I'm still working on it)
111. I have a habit of looking at the source of every single web page I visit....
1000. I just realized that I should number these in binary.
1001. I numbered these in binary.
1010. A girl asked for my number and I gave it to her--in binary, hexadecimal, and octal. Needless to say, she never called me.
1011. I know that I'm forgetting some more reasons.
<edit reason="remembered some">
1100. I once wore my safety glasses all day during school. And on another occasion, I wore safety goggles to lunch with the team.

Im a geek because i actually knew this was binary before reading your post.
Im a geek because whenever my friends have computer problems, they call me for help.
Im a geek because i fix my work schedule around the crazy 6 week build season.

i'm a NERD because i refer to the FIRST Manual as the Bible,
I'm a NERD because the gift i got most excited about this christmas was my jumpdrive, and because i'm on a robotics team, need i say more???!!! I have a counter on my myspace until the next kickoff...
